Guest watchboy Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Being new and having just ordered a Submariner from Josh (can't wait to see it!).... I was wondering what other reps I might want to add to my collection. I thought a good way to start might be to take a member survey your most convincing Reps. Which rep are you most proud of?

crystalcranium Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Being new and having just ordered a Submariner from Josh (can't wait to see it!).... I was wondering what other reps I might want to add to my collection. I thought a good way to start might be to take a member survey your most convincing Reps. Which rep are you most proud of? I have 2 reps that are probably in the 98% accurate range. The Bentlet GT in white has an inner bezel thickness issue and a slight color variation in the subdials but that is it. It has already gone into the lion's den of two AD's and was praised for its' beauty. The other is my new Tag Link Chrono. No actual, "Got'chas" at ADs yet but the rep has a well documented reputation here for out of this world accuracy. A date window size issue and a single digit number error on the case back but that's about it. I only buy replicas in this accuracy of fidelity range. I'm a quality, not quantity guy. An honorable mention goes to the Omega Broad Arrow Speedmaster in white that was noticed by a salesperson at a high end store. He pointed it out to another customer who was looking at Speedmasters and said "Now there's the Broad Arrow I was telling you about".

ubiquitous Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hmmmm... Without a doubt, my most convincing is my franken-Daytona with El Primero 400: Next is my DW 6265: Followed by myheavily modded MBW 1665: Perhaps followed by my 16610 franken Sub- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 My orange Omega Planet Ocean is my most convincing rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akelly Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Omega- Planet Ocean 5th gen. This watch gets noticed because of size and, the construction is awsome along with the "feel" of the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy broad arrow is indeed a awesome replica but wrong subdial spacings are evident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchwatcher Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 i have a few which are in the 99% range and include 'Jules' AP, FM Conq 2892, but favorite is the MBW1680 with The Zigmeistermods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I can't imagine anyone calling me out on either of these: Then again, I doubt my 111h, 183, Sub, GMT, MoonWatch, SMP-GMT, etc. would ever be called out, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Iwc Gst, my next buy, is a exact copy and with your genuine dial will be perfect. As for Moonwatch beauty and accuracy are not at the same level imho: Moonwatch replica can be easily called out. This one. Indeed one of the most accurate replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 As for Moonwatch beauty and accuracy are not at the same level imho: Moonwatch replica can be easily called out. I agree, but in the circles I move in, no-one would spot it as a rep. The IWC and Panerai, however, could be worn in ADs if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 My 4th gen PO in black 42mm. Went into an AD today, was thinking about the Tag Heur Carrera. The saleslady commented on the Omega PO I was wearing. It really is very very accurate, after seeing it next to the gen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) Hmmmm... Without a doubt, my most convincing is my franken-Daytona with El Primero 400: Hey - that doesn't count!! It's hardly a rep now, is it!!? I'm concurring with those who say the TAG Link chronos. The incorrect model number isn't even an issue if you select the brushed bezel model (but then you'd have to fix the whacky font datewheel).

infinitime Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I have a FM Conquistador 2892 and a Tag Heuer Link (non-chrono) rep. Both are in my opinion very accurate, and use the same movements as the genuines... The Tag Heuer has been inspected by an authorized dealer, who "confirmed" that it was real! (I told him I bought it for a good price on Ebay, and he said that it was probably stolen, but definitely real). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) My Rolex Air-King from Silix.. It is such a basic, no frils genuine-looking watch that hardly anyone would guess it is not real.. especially with some accessories: The dial is spot on, and better than the more recent batch of Air-King replicas I bought..

ryaku Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 gen dial? is this IWC modded? It'll be modded very soon. Pug bought a genuine dial on ebay and he's going to replace the dial of his replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 My Pam daylight 251 white dial 7753 and black dial Rolex 116523 and 116520...................Omega 2 tone double eagle is 98%. The only major flaw is the display back with the gold ETA movement. Also very good believe it or not, Gold MOP dial masterpiece with diamond bezel. The SS pearlmaster I got for 2 girlfriends and my mom is also 99% spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazz Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 These are probably the most accurate ones I have. If I had to pick the most accurate out of them, it would be the 007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
